Is a 12 foot rail long enough for k feds and such tricks?

[c-wayne]

im rebuilding my summer setup and have a perfect 12 foot section of pvc along with 12 foot 2 by furs and was wondering if you guys though itd be long enough for switchup 270/450 out tricks if i hit it going just fast enough to make it to the end? or is it to short?

12ft is fine. longer rails are always nice but it depends whether your drop it can get enough speed.

should be fun as long as your slope gets you up to speed

 

[KillaSteeze]

should be fine, might just be alittle harder to do some tricks cuz you have less time on the rail but you will get used to it

 

[Afterbang.no]

yes!

it is, but longer rails will help you a lot more with your balance. unless you hit it really slow you will be able to do lots of tricks without really ever locking on.

my rail is 12 ft long, it's ok if you don't have that much speed, but now after a while I'm bored because it's a short rail

^ agreed... 12' will be great for the 1st - 2nd season. But once you dial in the basics and start throwing different combinations with 2's on, your not left with much time on the rail to play around with different combinations.

Bottom line is it will be hella fun and worth it, but later on most likely you'll want something longer / different, and that's cool you can always add to the rail or modify your drop-in to be taller.

12 feet is plenty of room. i have an 8 foot flat bar and i can kfed it

just a big dropin to get that speed

8 Foot double barrel rail in my backyard helps me learn a multitude of things. No 450 outs though, its just too small to really grip onto it.

Did my first k fed and front 4 on a 12 foot pvc rial. May take a little time to get used to it but youll still have a lot of fun

i think this rail is shorter and a k-fed on it wasnt too hard
